Yes, you can overskim, IM(NSH)O. There's some systems, and livestock, that need much higher nitrates to grow; the tank suitable for SPS can be...
That doesn't make them "not reef safe", that makes them "bad choice for tanks under X # of gallons"
They really need very dirty water compared to most corals. They live in muddy, shadowed areas. By dirty, I mean greater than 10ppm nitrates kind of...
I seem to have the same recurring problem, although it's working for a slightly larger amount of time total.
It's more like you get a set of 8 regular electrical outlets, and can control them on/off. You get inputs from float valves, temperature sensors, and...
Maybe if you have the heat too high, or the AC on too low. It'll definitely help with oxygen levels staying high though.
Hrm. This thing needs a GUI......I'll work on it once I get my unit.
I'll be sure to resize them ;D
Just look it up on each of the sites. Nobody is going to have a comparison chart handy, as the one that was mentioned is the first I've seen, and...
What "extended parameters"? Nitrates? Phosphates? Alk/Cal/Mag?
It shouldn't do anything to the shell itself, but I'd definitely be concerned about it because of the speed Xenia can grow at.
If you turn off any powerheads, expect the nem to move when they're turned back on. Nems need consistency; if you turn off a powerhead and it finds a...
Overgrow as in block out the light the clam needs.
I imagine the xenia can overgrow the clam...
They say on the sheet they give you with the reactor that you should dial it back because of those problems I mentioned; it wasn't my idea to dial it...
The false back i pretty cool, they have one on the RSM250 that I have. It works well, but you might want to consider doing it along the length of the...
Yes, I do. Nearly all the way. They include a ball valve with the unit. They tell you to turn it back until the GFO is just barely tumbling on the...
Well, the unit itself doesn't need to - it's totally sealed. The only things you need to put in the sump are the pump and the outlet from the reactor.
As for the pump, I have a Maxijet 1200 on a BRS 2-stage reactor. And KC - why do you have it in the sump? You can leave it outside of the sump if...
That's what my goby did for a while. Mine is a high fin red banded goby.
